Veronica's Bump - Straight from Jolly Ol England! : Maryland Maternity Photographer

Welcome

To the online home for all my creative pursuits. Including, but not limited to: photography, scrapbooking, being down with G.O.D., home arts/renovation, cooking and loving my Vitamix, other general inspirations, confessions and random blathering. Served up with a healthy portion of everyday (mis)adventures in new motherhood and Mary Poppins mania. Thanks for stopping by. I "heart" your comments.

Veronica's Bump - Straight from Jolly Ol England! : Maryland Maternity Photographer

She has a beautifully blended British-American accent. Her husband swept her away from the US of A and moved her to his native Great Britain a few years ago. Now they are expecting their first baby. And while still cleared for air travel by her doctors - she made a trip back home to see her girlfriends who thoughtfully suggested me to her.

We had a great time racing around the Eastern Shore just one day before Hurricane Irene was set to hit us. As shops were boarding up their windows we were out snapping in gorgeous sunny weather.

Veronica was so sweet to entertain all my crazy ideas... The girl has such attitude. Chutzpah. And natual beauty topped off with a fresh mother-to-be "glow." She was a dream.

Here are just a few of my favorites. Enjoy.

Loved this weeping willow tree... so dreamy.

I wanted a nice casual indoor portrait of her...

Then came the silly ideas... I had this thought to do "a bun in the oven" theme... Dress her as a 50's housewife. She rocked it. And best of all - her husband is a chef - so it totally applied to her. :)

One more outfit change later I had to capture the essence of the Eastern Shore for her. They don't have landscapes like this where she lives - and I know she wanted to take a bit of "home" back home with her.

Girlfriends since grade school.

Veronica thought we were done with this location... The three of us were doing a bit of beach combing separately when I snapped these. The black and white below might just be my favorite of the whole lot. I adore the composition - the huge white space in the sky... her elegant posture... and the candid nature of it. Fave.

More girlfriends... LOVE.

Cutting up.

Congratulations Veronica and Jonathan! SO honored to capture this magical time for you!
